He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 498

"Huh? What do you mean, Tom? How could you—"

"I will also explain that to you later," Dahlia interrupted. "Quick, take Theo with you, and we shall go somewhere less crowded."

Kate nodded, though she had a lot of questions in her mind. She knew her priority.

She went upstairs with Henry and saw Theo crying while being carried by Maya.

"Thank God you’re here, Kate," Maya said. "Theo has been crying nonstop."

Theo struggled to break free from Maya as he was worried about his Mama’s safety, "Mama! Mama!"

Maya handed Theo to his mother, and Theo finally stopped crying. Though, he was still sobbing in his mother’s arms.

Kate patted Theo’s back and said, "Maya, you must leave with Tom now. I’ll have to go somewhere with Theo."

"But, Kate, he is..." Maya glanced at the intimidating man standing right behind Kate, and her legs began to tremble. "A—Are you sure you’re okay?"

Kate chuckled, "It’s fine. He is Theo’s... you know..."

"Oh—! Really?"

"Mhm, he’s here to talk with me after two years..." Kate said.

Maya was finally convinced. She glanced at Henry for the last time before she went downstairs and left immediately.

Theo looked at Henry, and he was about to cry again, looking at the scary man.

Yet, he didn’t want to hide anymore. So he tried to reach Henry and hit him with his small hand, much to Henry’s amusement.

"So, do you want to talk here or somewhere else?" Kate suggested. "You can talk here, Henry."

"Let’s go out. I want to go for a long drive to calm myself down," Henry said. "Everything is overwhelming for me, Katherine, and I’m still trying to decide whether I should forgive you for running away."

Kate sighed.

Of course, she had no intention of getting Henry’s forgiveness. They were pretty much over the moment she left, and she had to live with the consequences.

Though she wished deep in her heart that they could reunite as a family, her decision was too much to be forgiven.

"Sure, I know a place in the city where we can talk quietly. I’ve been here for two years, after all," Kate said.

The last sentence stung Henry badly.

He wanted to say that shouldn’t have happened in the first place if she didn’t run away.

But he also knew if he let his emotions get the better of him, he’d scare Kate and Theo, and it would only ruin his only chance to be with his family once more.

’At this point, I don’t understand why she doesn’t show remorse after leaving me for two years. Has she moved on?’ Henry had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he dared not to say it out loud, at least not when Theo was around, because his son was already quite hostile to him.

They went downstairs and saw Dahlia standing alone with no sign of Tom and Maya, "They already left," Dahlia said with a mysterious smile. "So, why don’t we go on a family trip together? It’s been two years, right?"

Kate peered suspiciously at Dahlia.

The moment Tom addressed her as ’Madam Grant’ rang a bell in Kate’s head.

Could it be that Dahlia didn’t keep her word and sent someone to spy on her for two years?

Kate felt betrayed, but she also knew she had no place to point a finger when she betrayed Henry.

So she simply nodded in silence and followed them into the car as they left the bakery.

Kate sat at the back with Theo, while Dahlia and Henry sat at the front.

"Tell me the location where we can have a level-headed conversation, Kate," Henry said with his eyes on the road. "I hope it’s quite far from here because I need to cool down as well."

Kate gave him the direction, and they drove away from the heart of Camden. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Kate often went for a walk around the town on the weekend and found secret spots nobody knew about.

One of them was a hidden path that led them to the other side of the river where she could spend her time in peace with Theo.

Henry parked his car near the river and looked at the back seat, "I don’t think we should take Theo with us. I don’t know what will happen during our conversation."

Kate nodded.

This was her problem with Henry, and her son shouldn’t know about it. She glanced at Dahlia and then patted Theo’s head, "Theo, do you remember how you once asked about your Granny?"

"Granny?"

"Yes, your Granny is here to play with you," Kate said gently to soothe her son’s uneasy heart.

She pointed at Dahlia, who smiled at them and said, "That’s your Granny. So, why don’t you play with her first while Mama talks with your... Papa..."

Theo was still scared to see his Papa, but he didn’t seem to show any kind of fear towards his kind and sweet-looking Grandma.

"Yes, Theo. Granny is here to play with you," Dahlia said. She carefully lifted Theo and put him on her lap. "Your Mama and Papa need to talk for a moment. So stay with me for a while, okay?"

"Mama, no..." Theo looked at his mother worriedly, and Kate gave him an assuring smile.

"Mama will return soon, so sit still with Granny, okay?"

"Un," Theo looked at his Mom and muttered, "I love you, Mama..."

"I love you too, Son."

Kate and Henry finally exited the car and walked side by side to the river’s edge.

They stared at the river in silence for a while.

Henry expected Kate to apologize immediately, while Kate expected Henry to spout all his anger and hatred before they completely moved on from each other.

After all, they weren’t meant for each other.

The atmosphere around them was choking as neither wanted to start the conversation until Kate couldn’t handle it anymore.

She took a deep breath and stated, "If you want to hit me, then do it quick, Henry. Our son wouldn’t be able to see us now. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to unleash your rage and hatred," Kate said, clenching her fist as she braced herself. "I don’t want Theo to hate his father because of this."
